Helping Agencies Improve Their Planning Analysis Techniques

"...all have recognized the need for better information about the potential impacts and trade-offs of transportation alternatives."

Today as communities debate growth policies, traffic congestion, urban design and air quality issues—all have recognized the need for better information about the potential impacts and trade-offs of transportation alternatives. The Travel Model Improvement Program (TMIP) helps planning agencies improve the techniques they use to inform their decision makers on how growth in population and employment, development patterns, and investments in transportation infrastructure are likely to affect travel, congestion, air quality, and quality of life.
